Chapter 323 Backstab

It is located near the border of a country where the three countries of Fire, Water and Earth meet.

The weather was gray, as if the whole world was shrouded in gray, making it look particularly dark and gloomy.

However, Qingzhi's mood at this moment was even more gloomy than the gray sky.

He had been up all night and had been traveling for two days.

But even this way, we have just arrived at our destination.

In front of you is a canyon with steep and dangerous mountain walls on both sides, forming a natural barrier. This is the only way to enter this country.

This is it...

Sweat was streaming down Aoki's face and his eyes were gloomy.

He had a big battle with Kakuzu, and his chakra consumption was very huge. In addition, he was on the road in the middle, so there was no time to rest. Even a perfect jinchūriki as strong as Aokiji could hardly bear it.

The current state is the worst state that Aokiji has been in in recent years.

Wuwei's worried voice came from inside his body: "Aoji, you look very tired..."

Qing Pheasant's eyelids drooped: "It's okay..."

Just as he was talking, Qing Zhi, who was on his way, suddenly noticed several figures in the gorge in front of him. Looking from a distance, even though one of them only had an outline, Qing Zhi recognized that person at first sight.

"Tsunade--!"

The loud shouting of the blue pheasant, full of joy, swept away the haze in front, like the dawn breaking through the darkness.

As if she heard someone calling her, Tsunade who was walking in front was slightly startled and turned around subconsciously.

The next second, a familiar figure came into view.

"Qingzhi, why are you here?"

Suddenly seeing Aokiji, Tsunade's expression was both happy and surprised.

Seeing that Tsunade was safe and sound, Aokiji's heart dropped more than half of its weight.

"You haven't answered me yet, why are you here?" Tsunade looked confused and asked: "Besides, I remember you didn't go..."

Aokiji's eyes fell on the masked ANBU member next to Tsunade, and he chose not to explain, but instead asked: "You are going to form an alliance with Kirigakure and Iwagakure on behalf of Konoha."

Tsunade was a little confused: "How did you know."

At this critical moment, Qing Pheasant didn't care about the other people around him and said bluntly: "Don't go, this is a trap."

Tsunade's expression was dazed for a moment, her brows furrowed: "Trap?"

Qing Pheasant had a solemn look on his face and said firmly: "Not bad."

Tsunade asked, "How do you know?"

Qing Pheasant was silent for a moment.

He got the information accidentally through the Sharingan and interrogation.

Someone deceived themselves through their own dark history in order to separate themselves from Tsunade. Finally, by giving Tsunade a mission, they tricked her into joining the alliance and took the opportunity to kill her.

Qingzhi thinks that he is very clean in his work and cannot leave a criminal record.

Unless someone is spying on themselves in the first place.

This person will know it after just a little thought.

Uchiha Madara...

Only this guy has the ability to use absolute force to drive Kakuzu to betray him.

Thinking about it this way, this old guy probably predicted that he would use the Sharingan specifically to interrogate the target.

Although I don’t know how this guy pulls the strings, one thing is certain. In the process, Danzo most likely wanted to kill himself.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen is sinister, he is not so crazy that he directly uses Tsunade as bait.

I'm afraid that when Sarutobi Hiruzen was injured, he was inextricably related to Uchiha Madara, so that Danzo, who was doing extreme things, could take over and have a good layout.

But luckily, Tsunade hasn't been caught yet, Aokiji thought with luck.

Faced with Tsunade's questioning, Aokiji couldn't come up with a good explanation for a while, so he could only say far-fetchedly: "Let's put this kind of thing aside for now. You come back to the village with me first."

Obviously this kind of thing cannot be recognized by the ANBU members around Tsunade: "Hey, Aokiji, please have a limit when joking."

Aokiji didn't even look at this ANBU and selectively ignored him. From the beginning to the end, he only had Tsunade in his eyes.

Tsunade fell silent and thought hard.

Aokiji's behavior aroused strong dissatisfaction from the Anbu:

"Qing Pheasant, you are so arrogant."

This time, Aoki Pheasant reacted, and his scarlet eyes squinted, revealing a faint warning.

He has no intention of joking now.

The ANBU ninja was glared at by this look, as if he was being killed by a sword. It was his duty to face Aoji Aoki's chilling pupils.

"I see……"

Tsunade raised her head and smiled slightly: "Let's go back first."

Qing Pheasant opened his mouth with a happy expression.

The face under the ANBU ninja mask was full of disbelief: "Tsunade, do you really want to do this?"

Tsunade said without hesitation: "Well, I believe Aokiji, he won't lie to me."

Qingzhi felt warm in his heart. Nothing could be more heart-warming than his girlfriend's unconditional trust, and even his nervousness was relieved.

The ANBU ninja wanted to fight for it again: "But, Danzo-sama..."

"I'll give an explanation over there."

Aoji saw Tsunade's responsible side, nodded slightly, and showed an expression of approval that she was worthy of "the woman I look like."

The ANBU ninja could not change Tsunade's will and could only sigh helplessly.

Tsunade looked at Aokiji and smiled: "Let's go back first..."

Qingzhi nodded and was about to start when he suddenly noticed something strange in the air. Before he could think about it, he opened his arms and created a hemispherical snow house with himself as the center, covering everyone around him.

Suddenly, there was a series of explosions on the surface of the igloo, creating a large amount of smoke and blocking the view.

The sound died down and the smoke gradually dissipated. Aokiji looked through the blasted igloo and looked at the dense figures standing above the canyon, his face darkened.

Damn, did the enemy come so quickly?

Aokiji stared straight ahead, holding his breath and saying, "Tsunade, hide behind me and I will lead you to break through the encirclement."

Hearing this, Tsunade slowly walked behind Aokiji.

With such a large number of enemies, and the unknown number of traps laid out ahead, it would be useless to break through the encirclement by conventional means.

So, only unconventional means remain.

With a thought in his mind, Aokiji wants to use the tailed beast jade to clear the way, and then transform into the five-tailed form, leading Tsunade and others to break through the encirclement.

This consumes a lot of chakra, making the already low chakra even worse.

Of course, the chakra is not much compared to Aokiji himself, and compared to other people, it is a existence that outshines others by several blocks.

Aoki began to mobilize the tailed beast chakra in his body, intending to enter the half-tailed beast state.

"Pfft."

A sudden pain hit him from his back, interrupting his entry into the tailed beast state.

"Tsunade" behind him took advantage of him being defenseless and stabbed him in the back with a kunai.

Qing Zhi's wide eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and he staggered forward a few steps, blood dripping down.

He turned around, an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Tsunade" had a sadistic smile on her lips.

If you continue to pretend, it will be easy for flaws to appear.

Aokiji's pupils were filled with blood, and his eyes were gushing with a crazy red light: "You are not Tsunade, where is the real Tsunade?"

ps: Change first and then change.
